Treatment Planning for ABA Employing Auxiliary Tools V2+ (TREAAT2+)

Sponsor: Montera Health Texas LLC

Summary

Technology enhancement in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) treatment planning may increase confidence, efficiency, consistency, and satisfaction for Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) which, in turn, can provide for better clinical outcomes for patients on the autism spectrum. To this end, the investigators will examine the use of \>3 technology-based tools that will be implemented in the BCBAs' clinical workflow to aid with treatment planning. The study will initially involve two aims that are non-interventional (these processes will occur in the background and will have no impact on any cohorts), followed by an interventional aim that includes two arms (i.e., two BCBA cohorts). BCBAs within both arms will observe and practice the standard of care for ABA, and thus patient care will not be impacted. The outcome measures are primarily focused on the BCBAs as follows: Arm 1: An experimental group (BCBA Tech cohort) will receive the full tech package (TREAAT2+) from the start. Arm 2: The control group (BCBA non-Tech cohort) will not have access to any tools from the tech package for the first 6 months. In the subsequent 18 months, they will receive one tool every 6 months until gaining access to the entire tech package.
